Swan Lake by Geoff Carpenter
Whilst walking around Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, just outside Canterbury,Kent,U.K., I spotted this pair of swans busy preening themselves in a quiet corner of the marsh; under cover of a dense tree canopy. It was quite dark around them, but fortunately they were lit by some sunlight filtering through.

In Photoshop,I cropped slightly,tweaked the levels and added a bit of radial blur to enhance the focus on the two swans.
